>>8: Canada is the second biggest nation in the world by land mass. The US is only the fourth. It doesn't have to "stand out," but it could at least make itself more visible. I don't particularly have any answers as to how; I just think Canada wastes a lot of its own potential.

I agree with you about Coulter, though. It always gets me when liberals dump on calm moderates like O'Reilly ( http://www.sweetjesusihatebilloreilly.com/ ) or Hannity while nary a peep is said of raving loonies like Coulter or Michael Savage.
